Karin Dreijer Andersson of Fever Ray/The Knife has contributed a new track that she composed for the recent staging of Ingmar Bergman's "The wolf hour" by The Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm to a new compilation album benefitting Japanese tsunami victims. The collection is called "We are the works in progress" and other contributors include Broadcast and Deerhunter. More here: http://feverray.com/2011/12/15/no-face-by-karin-dreijer-andersson/

Swedish-born/Norway-residing artist Karin Park will be making her UK live debut on August 18 at The Queen of Hoxton in Shoreditch, London. Though I know her primarily as a successful pop artist (as I'm sure is the same for many others), apparently she's decided to take a left-turn with her new, far more experimental album "Tiger dreams" which was recorded with producer Christoffer Berg (The Knife, Fever Ray, Little Dragon) and will be out in September. Check out the video for the title track here: http://vimeo.com/26911844

Karin Dreijer Andersson of Fever Ray/The Knife will be composing music for another play, this time a stage version of Ingmar Bergman's "The Hour Of The Wolf", set to premiere at Dramaten in Stockholm in 2011. She also reports that she is back in the studio with brother Olof working on new material for The Knife. Wait and see...
